grunge and a new toy

Here's my basic thoughts on using grungeboard and grungepaper....since you asked!I LOVE both...I DREAM of grunge...SERIOUSLY!Both have the same qualities...you can stamp, ink, paint, emboss, sew, and distress either.I like to mix/match both products in a project, because the difference in thickness adds interest. When I do that, I'll use the grungeboard as the base & add the grungepaper on top.For something that's going to get LOTS of use...like these sandals...I like grungeboard for the flower...it's very durable.

For something on a smaller scale...or if you want to build lots of layers...I like grungepaper...

like for this bracelet...

Yep...makes me laugh...it looks PROM-ish...kind of like a wrist corsage!

That's the grunge basics...hoped it helped answer some questions!NEXT...LOOKIE what the man in the brown truck brought me yesterday. I didn't think I NEEDED the 7g binderie punch, but after I saw the demo...it HOOKED me!One push of the button & it punches thru grungeboard easily...I tried it on some thick Maya Road chipboard...yep. SIMPLE...just push the button...and you get...Slick as snot...PERFECT holes...

I see lots of fun play in my future... with this guy.

That's it for today...I've got to finish up the last minute packing for the next stop on this art adventure...Crop Paper Scissors in Waco, Texas. OK gals...prepare to get INKY and we'll...make art!wendy

Now there is a highly under used expression ... "slick as snot - perfect holes" ... bet it does n't say that on the box *LOL*

Fabulous art as always ... am loving the bracelet X

Had a Wendy V today in Cambridge UK, we got inky and made art ... Lots of laughter too ... and you, your birds and your stamps were the star of the show ... Thank you for the inspiration and taking the time to share your journey X

I gotta add...(Linda has lowered the tone with the snot thingy....I would NEVER have said anything like that ... ever ....ROFL....) Wendy, we had the BESTEST day today and used only your stamps...we have such excellent taste :O)) but there is no need for any others! Thanks from me...for inspiring me...and making me see things differently...and for making a lovely comment on me Blog and making me smile!.... Enjoy your class in Texas....**am still looking for air fares** LOL x

You sure have been busy. I was gone for a couple of days and love your art. Thanks for sharing that you can stamp over crackled paint. That is good to know. Glad the book is on its way to coming out. I got some of the new sets of stamps so hope to make art tomorrow. Have a safe trip to Texas.
